Hannah J. Miller

Hannah Jemima Miller, age 99, passed away peacefully on July 16, 2022, at Country Villa Assisted Living in Omro, WI. 
She was born in the Town of Nekimi on July 26, 1922, to the late John and Bertha Williams. She attended the Red School and Oshkosh High School. Hannah was united in marriage to Claude Frederick Miller on June 30, 1943, in Oshkosh.
Hannah and Claude worked together building a successful dairy farm. They moved to the home farm in 1959 where Hannah lived until March 2022.
She worked at Diamond Match Company and was a waitress at the Hi-K club. Hannah found meaning in serving and helping others. She was the youngest of four children. She cared for her brother and mother in their later years of life.
 Hannah contributed to the Town of Algoma Fire Department, serving in the fire departments Women’s Auxiliary. Prior to the paging systems of today, when a fire call was received Hannah had a list of firefighters to call to alert them of the incident. Sometimes that meant getting others to hang up on the “party line” phone.
Hannah was a member of the Winnebago County Holstein Association. For many years she worked in the Holstein Association lunch stand at the Winnebago County Fair. Hannah was a lifetime member of the Kroweldeen club, which is needlework spelled backwards. She also belonged to a Homemaker’s club, and Winnebago County Farm Bureau. Hannah and Claude enjoyed spending time with other couples playing sheepshead and attending dances. Stories were told that if one couple stayed home from a dance sometimes the other couples would play a prank on them in the middle of the night. Hannah and Claude travelled to Florida and Hawaii and numerous other smaller trips.
In later years she enjoyed spending time with friends, and family. Hannah made numerous trips over the years to Manitowoc to visit her daughter Darlene and her family. She enjoyed camping with family. Hannah looked forward to visitors stopping by the house. She always had a smile for you when you walked in her kitchen door and made everyone feel welcome. She also attended Red School lunches once a month with other school attendees.
Hannah remained active later in life. She walked at the YMCA and enjoyed having breakfast with friends. On the farm, she unloaded ear corn from the gravity boxes into the elevator and cut grass with the riding lawnmower until she was 93 years old.
Hannah is survived by her three children, Darlene Blodgett, Ron (Karen) Miller, and Jeff (Cindy) Miller; grandchildren Rhonda Miller, Eric (Jayme) Miller, Amy (John) Hoffman, Sarah (Kevin) Bradway, Michael Blodgett, Lisa Blodgett, Laura Blodgett, Ann Blodgett, Danna (Travis) Scherer, Jonathon (Emily) Miller; great grandchildren Jenna, Brennan, Jacob, Ian, Lindsey, Allison, Natalie, Liam; step great-grandson Kyler; and her friend Kathy Cartwright.
In addition to her parents, Hannah was preceded in death by her husband Claude; siblings John, Mildred, and Edward Williams; infant granddaughter, Ann; and son-in-law John Blodgett.
A service for Hannah will be held at Konrad-Behlman funeral homes Westside (100 Lake Pointe Drive) on Thursday, July 21, 2022, at 6 PM. A visitation will take place from 4 PM until the time of service.
